SEVERAL WHITES ARRESTEE
tho Omaha Polish Church Row—Mor*
Italians Killed In Bouse, Colo., Though
the Excitement There Has Now
Almost Entirely Subsided.
NEW OBLEANS, March 14.—The foreign
oonsuls stationed in this city held a meet­ing
to arrange a statoment of the condi­tion
of affairs, which they forwarded to the
representatives of their governments at
Washington. Tho British consul received
instructions from the British embassadoi
at Washington to collect evidence in the
6hooting of the purser of the steamship
Engineer to be used in proceedings which
will be instituted against the city.
Eight arrests have been made, all white
Bcrewmen, who were oharged with incit­ing
a riot.
The bureau of freight and transporta­tion
held a special meeting to discuss the
troubles and to take tho necessary steps to
protect oommerce and the lives and prop­erty
of the citizens. The response to the
call was unanimous. The debate was heat­ed
and at first resulted in the adoption of
a resolution appealing to federal authority
for protection and requesting the presi­dent
of the United States to intervene in
the interest of both law and order. Later
the decision to appeal to the president was
rescinded upon the receipt of a telegram
from Governor Foster stating that he
would be in the city at once. When Gov­ernor
Foster and Attorney General Cun­ningham
arrived, the session was resumed.
A Prearranged Afflalr.
Calmly reviewing the riots, everything
would seem to indicate the attack to be a
prearranged affair. It is rumored, and
there is every reason to believe the rumor
to be correct, that a secret meeting was
held Mohtmy night and the bloody affair
was carefully mapped out. The details
seem to he that tho crowd Of rioters who
were sent up town were residents of the
lower district, while those who wore sont
down town were those who live up town.
The guns and rifles which were used by the
down town men who went up town seem
to have been deposited in the various sa­loons
along the levee. The men assembled
somewhere in the vicinity of Nun street,
and in the dense fog proceedod up the
levee. It seomed to be generally understood
that the guns to.be made use. of by down
town conspirators were taken to some place
in tho vicinity of the sugar refineries in a
wagon and then were placed away until
some such time as they were required.
It also seemed to be agreed that in
the preconcerted attack the shooting
should be done between 6:45 and 7:30
o'clook, at a time when the men would be
going to work. ?

SPRINGFIELD, Ills., March 14.—Govern­or
John P. Altgeld was asked his opinion
regarding Attorney General Olney's neg­ative
reply to the request of the United
States distriot attorney at New Orleans
asking for federal troops to assist in quell­ing
the riots there. Governor Altgeld ex­pressed
6ome surprise that the national
government should change its policy abso­lutely
regarding the sending of troops into
states where trouble exists. He maintained
the position he took last September, when
federal troops were sent into Illinois to
put down the strikes. He gave out the fol­lowing

"They are having trouble along the
docks of New Orleans, and several men

The Polish Church Riot.
OMAHA, March 14.—All night long a
battalion of police guarded St. Paul's Bo-man
Catholio church to prevent another
battle between factions of the Polish con­gregation.
A report had been circulated
that the Poles of South Omaha were going
to Sheely station to capture the church, and
that they would be assisted by some Poles
from Council Bluffs and the attacking
party of yesterday., .Excitement ran high,
and the followers of Priest Karminski
flooked to the church heavily armed with
revolvers and shotguns.' Sentinels were
stationed at the rear of the ohurch and on
the inside and swore to hold possession of
the building as long as they had life enough
in their bodies to make a resistance. But
the anticipated attack did not materialize.
The men stationed in the church, as the
hours rolled by and no sign of the attack­ing
party was seen, began feeling more
cheerful and secure, and frequent trips
were made to the neighboring saloons. As
the v spirits went, down, so rose the confi­dence
o'f the party in possession that they
would be able to cope successfully with
any attacking party and would be able to
retain the advantage which they had been
successful in holding yesterday.
More Italians Killed.
ROUSE, Colo., March 14.—Of the nine
Italians arrested for the murder of A. J.
Hixson four were exonerated at the coro­ner's
inquest and discharged. Five were
held for trial and ordered committed to
jail. These have all been killed. John
Wellsby, driver of the wagon in which the
prisoners were being taken to jail, was
also accidentally killed, making the total
number of fatalities six. The town of
Walsenburg is now quiet.
English Press Opinions.
LONDON, March 14.—This afternoon's
Westminster Gazette, referring to tho com­ments
which The Daily News printed this
morning in regafd to the rioting at Now
Orleans, says: "The Daily News, in its
comments, ignores an important factor—
the interesting feature of the black man
as a'blackleg.' When the color question
is crossed by a labor war, it becomes com­plicated.
We do not excuse the action of
the whites, but we cannot class the affair
in the average run of lynching horrors."
The Daily News, in its comment on the
troubles at New Orleans, said this morn­ing
: '' Really, but for the look of the thing,
the American negroes might almost as
tvell return to their ancestral seats. New
Orleans, of course, is a more respectable
address than Dahomey, but the customs
in the two places are much the same."
A SM-AXIj GOLD CRAZE.
A Now Machine Makes Reach Mining Near
San Francisco Profitable.
SAN FRANCISCO, March 14.—Gold min­ing
is being carried on almost within the
corporate limits of San Francisco. On the
beach three miles south of the Cliff House
an old squatter has for years toiled with
shovel and pick, eking out a scanty living
by extracting gold from the deposits on
the shores by the currents and tides. Ex­perienced
miners have frequently asserted
that the entire coast from Alaska to Capo
Horn is full of free gold, but that its suc­cessful
amalgamation was the sole obsta­cle
to working it. Several weeks ago a
new amalgamator was employed by a com­pany
organized for tho purpose, and as a
result of 15 days' labor three chunks of
amalgam are now at the United States mint
from which a value of from $1,000 to $1,-
200 is expected to be developed. Four
men are required for each amalgamator.
A machine will run from 20 to 25 tons of
Band per day, the net profit being esti­mated
at $2.50 per ton. The ocean shore
wherever the black sand exists is now con-,
sldered as good as any quartz mine, and
camps are being established along the
beach.
For a Colony of Half Breeds.
MONTREAL, March 13.—Father Lacombe
is in Ottawa to get the government to con­sent
to a scheme for gathering the half
breeds into a large colony in some part of
the northwest, where they will not be so
exposed to contact with the whites, before
whosqu^Yaneo they are rather retrograd­ing

The Murderers of A. J. Nixon.
ROUSE, Colo., March 13.—Nine Italians
have been arrested, accused of the murder
of A. J. Nixon, a saloon koeper, who was
beaten to death on the highway. They
were tracked by a bloodhound. Several
of the prisoners have made confessions
that Lorenzo Danaino, one of those arrest­ed,
struck the fatal blow.
Patrick Gleason Loses His Case.
ALB ANT, March 13.—The committee on
privileges and election has reported in fa­vor

eleotion case of Patrick Gleason against
John P. Madden in the First district of
Queens county. Tho report was adopted.
Afflicted With Rheumatism.
Mr. Geo. A. Mills, of Lebanon, Conn.,
says: "I was afflicted with rheumatism in
my back all last winter. It was so severe
at times that I could not stand up straight,
but was drawn over on one side. I tried
different remedies without receiving any
relief until I bought a bottle of Chamberlain's
P?ln Balm. After using it for three days,
according to directions, my rheumatism was
gone and has not returned since. I have
since recommended it to others and know
they have been benefited by its use. For

THAT SPANISH INSDLT
Opinions of Officers With Regard to
tlie Allianca Outrage.
PROMPT ACTION TO BE TAKEN
Ihe Spaniards Seem to Think That Some
Development Will Prove That the
Conduct of Their Captain In
Firing Was Justifiable.
NEW YORK, March 14.—At the officers'
mess tables in tho Brooklyn navy yard to­day
the principal topic of conversation was
the firing upon the American merchant
steamship Allianca by a Spanish cruiser.
Tho naval officers were unanimously of
tho opinion that the Spaniard had no right
to firo on tho Amorican, and thoy thought
that the state department would take im­mediate
action to forco tho Spanish gov­ernment
to apologize.
Commander Sicard was not at the navy
yard, but Captain of the Yard Rogers was
in his office, talking of wl:^» he termed
"that Spanish outrage."
"The Allianca," said the captain, "was
going on about her business, flying both
the American ensign and the United
States mail flag, when she met the Spaniard,
and after she had saluted tho oruisor all of
the requirements of marine courtesy had
been fulfilled. If tho statement made by
Captain Crossman is correct, the Spaniard
was entirely at fault. Captain Crossman
seems to think that the Spaniard had a
right to inspect his papers if ho was within
a marine league of tho coast, but in this
he is mistaken. The only time that a for­eign
man-of-war may inspect an American
ship is when that ship is going to or com­ing
from a country where war is raging.
The Allianca was passing between two
neutral ports, and even if she had been
running close to the Cuban coast the
Spaniard would not have had any right to
overhaul her papers.
Iiike to Rother Americans.
"I am very glad," continued Captain
Rogers, "that tho American skipper re­fused
to allow that Spaniard to go through
his ship. Things like this are constantly
occurring, but wo do not hear of them be­cause
tho captains generally submit to an
examination. Every power oa earth that
has a navy seems to delight in bothering
Amerioan ships, but it doesn't go in these
days. When I am at sea and want to in­spect
the papers of a ship flying a foreign
fiag, I send up a signal of tho internation­al
code asking them to heave to, and that
is tho proper course of procedure. In time
of peaco, though, it is discretionary with
a merchant captain whother ho shall heave
to or not.
"Tho state department will very proba­bly
investigate this matter at once, and the
Spaniards will probably be asked to apolo­gize.
''
"Is our navy sufficiently strong in the
neighborhood of Cuba to protect our mer­chant
marine if they need protection?"
was asked.
"Well," said tho captain, "we'vo got
tho biggest fleet of steel ships that ever
flew tho Amorican flag right in thatvioin-ity.
Admiral Meade, with his squadron
of evolution, is now, or was at last ac­counts,
at Port of Spain, Trinidad, and
Trinidad is only about a two days' run
from Havana.
Meade's Fine Squadron.
"This squadron is composed of the best
ships now in the American navy. Among
them are the New York, Columbia, Atlan­ta,
Cincinnati, Raleigh and several other
big ones. If it becomes absolutely neces­sary,
we can get enough ships there to
pick up the island of Cuba and place it
outsido of Sandy Hook while,, we. investi­gate
the matter.''
Captain Rogers' opinion seems to be
that of nearly every officer in the yard.
Some hold that tho Spaniard had a right
to stop tho ship if she was within a marine
league of the land, on account of the fact
that many ships flying the American flag
have carried arms and ammunition to the
Cuban revolutionists.
All of the officers are satisfied that, if
the Spaniards continue this sort of busi­ness,
Admiral Meade, who has a roving
commission, will take his fleet to Cuba
and take a hand in tho game of holding
up ships.
Captain Crossman's story of the meeting
with the Spaniard is the only account that
naval officers have heard of the trouble,
but they aro inclined to think that his ver­sion
is correct.
The Spanish Side of lit.
At tho Spanish consulate in Stone street
the second seoretary said that it would bo
impossible to state what vessels answering
Captain Crossman's description of a brig-antine
cruiser were on the Cuban station.
"The vessels there lately have been chang­ed,"
I10 said. "It is impossible for any
Spanish naval captain to so exceed his au­thority
as to forget he could .not fire on a
vessel outside of the threo milo limit pro­scribed
by international law."
A Spanish-American who stands as close
to his home government as anyone in this
city stated today:
"I don't believe Captain Crossman was
right in his estimate of the distance from
shore. Our captain probably had informa­tion
leading him to expect the landing
either of supplies or of Suspects friendly to
the belligerents.''
"If Spain recognizes the Cuban insur­gents
as belligerents, had your captain a
right to fire, overhaul and examine?" was
asked.
"No. They are banditti, not belliger­ents,"
he replied. "None of the reputa­ble
Cubans is in the movement. But the
fact remains these -banditti are constant­ly
having outside aid enough to make
their movements formidable. There have
been many cases when vessels in the guise
of friendly merchantmen have been
proved filibusters. Captain Crossman,
however, whatover his distance out, should
have permitted the Allianca being ques­tioned.
But -I am certain our captain was
within tho marine leaguo international
limit. I notico the vessel is described as
being painted black, which would meav>
she was now on tho Cuban station. I havo
known tho caso of Spanish captains being
overzealous. Wo arc, you know, an excit­able
people." . ; v-

the building as long as they had life enough
in their bodies to make a resistance. But
the anticipated attack did not materialize.
The men stationed in the church, as the
hours rolled by and no sign of the attack­ing
party was seen, began feeling more
cheerful and secure, and frequent trips
were made to the neighboring saloons. As
the v spirits went, down, so rose the confi­dence
o'f the party in possession that they
would be able to cope successfully with
any attacking party and would be able to
retain the advantage which they had been
successful in holding yesterday.
More Italians Killed.
ROUSE, Colo., March 14.—Of the nine
Italians arrested for the murder of A. J.
Hixson four were exonerated at the coro­ner's
inquest and discharged. Five were
held for trial and ordered committed to
jail. These have all been killed. John
Wellsby, driver of the wagon in which the
prisoners were being taken to jail, was
also accidentally killed, making the total
number of fatalities six. The town of
Walsenburg is now quiet.
English Press Opinions.
LONDON, March 14.—This afternoon's
Westminster Gazette, referring to tho com­ments
which The Daily News printed this
morning in regafd to the rioting at Now
Orleans, says: "The Daily News, in its
comments, ignores an important factor—
the interesting feature of the black man
as a'blackleg.' When the color question
is crossed by a labor war, it becomes com­plicated.
We do not excuse the action of
the whites, but we cannot class the affair
in the average run of lynching horrors."
The Daily News, in its comment on the
troubles at New Orleans, said this morn­ing
: '' Really, but for the look of the thing,
the American negroes might almost as
tvell return to their ancestral seats. New
Orleans, of course, is a more respectable
address than Dahomey, but the customs
in the two places are much the same."
A SM-AXIj GOLD CRAZE.
A Now Machine Makes Reach Mining Near
San Francisco Profitable.
SAN FRANCISCO, March 14.—Gold min­ing
is being carried on almost within the
corporate limits of San Francisco. On the
beach three miles south of the Cliff House
an old squatter has for years toiled with
shovel and pick, eking out a scanty living
by extracting gold from the deposits on
the shores by the currents and tides. Ex­perienced
miners have frequently asserted
that the entire coast from Alaska to Capo
Horn is full of free gold, but that its suc­cessful
amalgamation was the sole obsta­cle
to working it. Several weeks ago a
new amalgamator was employed by a com­pany
organized for tho purpose, and as a
result of 15 days' labor three chunks of
amalgam are now at the United States mint
from which a value of from $1,000 to $1,-
200 is expected to be developed. Four
men are required for each amalgamator.
A machine will run from 20 to 25 tons of
Band per day, the net profit being esti­mated
at $2.50 per ton. The ocean shore
wherever the black sand exists is now con-,
sldered as good as any quartz mine, and
camps are being established along the
beach.
For a Colony of Half Breeds.
MONTREAL, March 13.—Father Lacombe
is in Ottawa to get the government to con­sent
to a scheme for gathering the half
breeds into a large colony in some part of
the northwest, where they will not be so
exposed to contact with the whites, before
whosqu^Yaneo they are rather retrograd­ing
tllan improving in civilization.
The Murderers of A. J. Nixon.
ROUSE, Colo., March 13.—Nine Italians
have been arrested, accused of the murder
of A. J. Nixon, a saloon koeper, who was
beaten to death on the highway. They
were tracked by a bloodhound. Several
of the prisoners have made confessions
that Lorenzo Danaino, one of those arrest­ed,
struck the fatal blow.
Patrick Gleason Loses His Case.
ALB ANT, March 13.—The committee on
privileges and election has reported in fa­vor

eleotion case of Patrick Gleason against
John P. Madden in the First district of
Queens county. Tho report was adopted.
Afflicted With Rheumatism.
Mr. Geo. A. Mills, of Lebanon, Conn.,
says: "I was afflicted with rheumatism in
my back all last winter. It was so severe
at times that I could not stand up straight,
but was drawn over on one side. I tried
different remedies without receiving any
relief until I bought a bottle of Chamberlain's
P?ln Balm. After using it for three days,
according to directions, my rheumatism was
gone and has not returned since. I have
since recommended it to others and know
they have been benefited by its use. For

THAT SPANISH INSDLT
Opinions of Officers With Regard to
tlie Allianca Outrage.
PROMPT ACTION TO BE TAKEN
Ihe Spaniards Seem to Think That Some
Development Will Prove That the
Conduct of Their Captain In
Firing Was Justifiable.
NEW YORK, March 14.—At the officers'
mess tables in tho Brooklyn navy yard to­day
the principal topic of conversation was
the firing upon the American merchant
steamship Allianca by a Spanish cruiser.
Tho naval officers were unanimously of
tho opinion that the Spaniard had no right
to firo on tho Amorican, and thoy thought
that the state department would take im­mediate
action to forco tho Spanish gov­ernment
to apologize.
Commander Sicard was not at the navy
yard, but Captain of the Yard Rogers was
in his office, talking of wl:^» he termed
"that Spanish outrage."
"The Allianca," said the captain, "was
going on about her business, flying both
the American ensign and the United
States mail flag, when she met the Spaniard,
and after she had saluted tho oruisor all of
the requirements of marine courtesy had
been fulfilled. If tho statement made by
Captain Crossman is correct, the Spaniard
was entirely at fault. Captain Crossman
seems to think that the Spaniard had a
right to inspect his papers if ho was within
a marine league of tho coast, but in this
he is mistaken. The only time that a for­eign
man-of-war may inspect an American
ship is when that ship is going to or com­ing
from a country where war is raging.
The Allianca was passing between two
neutral ports, and even if she had been
running close to the Cuban coast the
Spaniard would not have had any right to
overhaul her papers.
Iiike to Rother Americans.
"I am very glad," continued Captain
Rogers, "that tho American skipper re­fused
to allow that Spaniard to go through
his ship. Things like this are constantly
occurring, but wo do not hear of them be­cause
tho captains generally submit to an
examination. Every power oa earth that
has a navy seems to delight in bothering
Amerioan ships, but it doesn't go in these
days. When I am at sea and want to in­spect
the papers of a ship flying a foreign
fiag, I send up a signal of tho internation­al
code asking them to heave to, and that
is tho proper course of procedure. In time
of peaco, though, it is discretionary with
a merchant captain whother ho shall heave
to or not.
"Tho state department will very proba­bly
investigate this matter at once, and the
Spaniards will probably be asked to apolo­gize.
''
"Is our navy sufficiently strong in the
neighborhood of Cuba to protect our mer­chant
marine if they need protection?"
was asked.
"Well," said tho captain, "we'vo got
tho biggest fleet of steel ships that ever
flew tho Amorican flag right in thatvioin-ity.
Admiral Meade, with his squadron
of evolution, is now, or was at last ac­counts,
at Port of Spain, Trinidad, and
Trinidad is only about a two days' run
from Havana.
Meade's Fine Squadron.
"This squadron is composed of the best
ships now in the American navy. Among
them are the New York, Columbia, Atlan­ta,
Cincinnati, Raleigh and several other
big ones. If it becomes absolutely neces­sary,
we can get enough ships there to
pick up the island of Cuba and place it
outsido of Sandy Hook while,, we. investi­gate
the matter.''
Captain Rogers' opinion seems to be
that of nearly every officer in the yard.
Some hold that tho Spaniard had a right
to stop tho ship if she was within a marine
league of the land, on account of the fact
that many ships flying the American flag
have carried arms and ammunition to the
Cuban revolutionists.
All of the officers are satisfied that, if
the Spaniards continue this sort of busi­ness,
Admiral Meade, who has a roving
commission, will take his fleet to Cuba
and take a hand in tho game of holding
up ships.
Captain Crossman's story of the meeting
with the Spaniard is the only account that
naval officers have heard of the trouble,
but they aro inclined to think that his ver­sion
is correct.
The Spanish Side of lit.
At tho Spanish consulate in Stone street
the second seoretary said that it would bo
impossible to state what vessels answering
Captain Crossman's description of a brig-antine
cruiser were on the Cuban station.
"The vessels there lately have been chang­ed,"
I10 said. "It is impossible for any
Spanish naval captain to so exceed his au­thority
as to forget he could .not fire on a
vessel outside of the threo milo limit pro­scribed
by international law."
A Spanish-American who stands as close
to his home government as anyone in this
city stated today:
"I don't believe Captain Crossman was
right in his estimate of the distance from
shore. Our captain probably had informa­tion
leading him to expect the landing
either of supplies or of Suspects friendly to
the belligerents.''
"If Spain recognizes the Cuban insur­gents
as belligerents, had your captain a
right to fire, overhaul and examine?" was
asked.
"No. They are banditti, not belliger­ents,"
he replied. "None of the reputa­ble
Cubans is in the movement. But the
fact remains these -banditti are constant­ly
having outside aid enough to make
their movements formidable. There have
been many cases when vessels in the guise
of friendly merchantmen have been
proved filibusters. Captain Crossman,
however, whatover his distance out, should
have permitted the Allianca being ques­tioned.
But -I am certain our captain was
within tho marine leaguo international
limit. I notico the vessel is described as
being painted black, which would meav>
she was now on tho Cuban station. I havo
known tho caso of Spanish captains being
overzealous. Wo arc, you know, an excit­able
people." . ; v-
